just did a edit on the orig post to add the prices... unfortunately, i would have to act fast on the 07's since the LBS only had 1 left... i did get a chance to ride the FSR XC.. it felt good however, the rear did seem bouncey to me.. guess it need more air or sumthin.. i plan on tryin the other 2 out if i get a chance too...

do you feel that the Trek is a better bike than the C'Dale though?.. i mean with the new technology they put in it i.e; ABP, re-designed rear suspension etc... i know the lower end Trekk FS's are not designed the saem way as the higher end EX's too...

as for the Rush 6, i know they packaged it up differently for '08... matter of fact, i think they downgraded a few of the components and would prefer the '07 over the '08 while it's available...

just don't know... i just want to make a good decision on this investment...

Bouncy can be cured with a little more rebound damping. (turn knob clockwise)

Make sure the person selling you the bike knows how to set it up for you before you make a decision on it. Don't cast the FSRXC out the window b/c your LBS throws you on a bike and turns you loose in the parking lot.

Ask them "Can you make this less 'bouncy'?" I'd ride it again with it set up properly.
